The person who wrote that obviously forgot the carburetor is a French word meaning "Don't F*** With It". This goes doubly for SU's which are probably the most reliable, simple, troublefree instruments to mix air and fuel ever invented.

I’m wiring it from scratch with a Painless kit so the chances of it running are not good so it might as well look the part.

(This rule is similar to the “MG test for oil”).<br>* The only time your carburetors run properly is when a mechanic is taking a test drive.<br>* SU carburetors parts are interchangeable. You can replace a faulty part with a new one and the carburetor will run just like it always did.<br>* When replacing needles, the only parts store with the correct ones will be in Coventry or on a ship floundering in an Atlantic storm.<br>* When you get the correct carburetor needles, one of them will be bent.<br>* The universal SU repair Kit will work on all carburetors except yours.<br>* A float will only have a hole in it if it is Sunday and the parts store is closed.<br>* No two repair books will recommend the same fluid for the dampers.<br>* Whitworth nuts and bolts are similar to SAE nuts and bolts except that the shoulders are rounded off.<br>* Tightening the jet nut will automatically move the jet off center.<br>* All levers and jets will move smoothly if (and only if) the carburetor is sitting on the kitchen table.<br>* MG carburetors are infinitely adjustable. That is they can be set anywhere from “not quite right” to “totally wrong”.<br>* Despite the above, a weekend working on the MG carburetors is preferable to fixing the oil leak.</span></span></p>
